So I'm getting ready for my first "hot litter." I bred all through the cold months, and of course I provided plenty of straw for the nest boxes, but these will be my first warm months litters. All the does are outside. So should I just give them their nest box, and only let them fill it with fur, or possibly a small amount of straw to make a base for the kits?
They're only 11 days pregnant so I have a good amount of time to prepare. We have weeks were it gets in the high 90's so I plan on pulling the kits during the day if it is too hot, and returning them to their momma's when it's cooler in the day.
